Creating your display for the Innovation Fair
Creating your display for the Innovation Fair
Each student will have a space on a table in the gym to display their project.
Displays must include the name(s) of student(s) and class code(s).
Depending on the project, displays can look different. Each display should describe the project, the process, and the result.
There are many ways you can display your project at the Innovation Fair.
